ULTRASONIC CLEANING BY BRANSON
dentists, jewelers, and industry for years. And now, with this unit you can take advantage
of ultrasonic cleaning for many small, difficult to clean items.
How it works:
The ultrasonic cleaner uses high frequency sound waves to create literally millions of
tiny, microscopic bubbles in the solution. These bubbles expand and then rapidly
collapse. As they collapse, they release a significant amount of energy creating an
and even blind holes. Dirt can be loosened and removed from any surface that the liquid
quickly produce clean parts.
What it will clean:
Due to the nature of ultrasonic cleaning you will find it very effective when used on hard
materials such as metals, glass, stone, ceramic, and even dense, hard plastics. When
used to clean these types of hard materials your ultrasonic cleaner can remove a great
number of different types of soil. These can include such things as dust, dirt, oils, many
light greases, tarnish, even solder paste. It is particularly useful in laboratories for
removing chemical or protein residues for intricate or complex labware and instruments.
It will also do an excellent job on jewelry with hard natural stones like saphires, garnets,
rubies, diamonds, etc.
Ultrasonics relies on the impact of cavitation bubbles against a hard surface to erode
away the soils. For that reason, it is not very effective for cleaning soft materials like
rubber, cloth, fiberous products, styrofoam, or products with similar properties. These
materials will absorb the sound and little energy will be left for soil removal. It is also
necessary to exercise care when cleaning jewelry. Soft stones like pearls and opals
should not be cleaned ultrasonically as cracking or discoloration may occur.
